  			G 
Sorrow is a lonely road 
          C    Bm        Am 
Where the rain like your tears 
      D            C                           G 
Beats heavy on the roof on the roof above your head 
         G 
Tomorrow is a lovers' town 
     C        Bm     Am 
That has been beaten down 
        D                                   C   G 
And the hand of winter holds the life we've led 
   C       Am7      D  C  Em          
Instead of drowning in despair 
      C                       D 
For I find small comfort in a bottle 
            G    Em 
When we're apart 
      C                 D                 G    Em 
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart 
      C                 D                 G 
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart. 

          G 
I used to drive all night for you 
          C        Bm     Am 
While the children were asleep 
       D 
As the dawn broke on your room 
       C               G 
Back into my house I'd creep 
         G 
Where my husband slept alone 
   C         Bm        Am 
Of course he must have known 
       D  
But we always hide the truth 
            C              G 
For fear of losing what we own 
         C                Am7     
Don't forget the words we choose 
    D       C     Em 
And constantly misuse 
          C                 D             G   Em  
They were written down each time we were apart 
      C                 D                 G    Em 
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart 
      C                 D                 G  
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
